“Flamin Hot the Movie illustrates Success comes in many flavors.\u00a0This story may be similar to the journey of ELAC Students, success does not always have to be linear.\u00a0As a Proud Board Member of the ELAC Foundation it’s important to Advocate and provide Access for students. My Board colleagues\u00a0and I are committed\u00a0to our Mission of Transforming the Lives of the Students we serve. I know we have so much talent and possibly at ELAC.

“We are family oriented, we’re hardworking, we contribute a lot to our society and our Community….we are a lot\u00a0of things. This film is a love letter to the Latino Community…we don’t get a lot\u00a0of chances to make movies About Us, By Us, and For Us. We did our part, we need you guys to do your part….we need Hollywood to know we matter, and we have stories to tell, & we are amazing story tellers….. ”\u00a0said Eva Longoria, Director, Flamin’ Hot.<\/p>\n

“This is the story of Richard Montanez, a story of underdogs.\u00a0Everyone in front\u00a0and behind\u00a0the camera. We all have a lot to prove, we have to believe in ourselves.”\u00a0said Jesse John Garcia, Lead\u00a0Actor of Flamin\u2019 Hot<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
